Two Watch Collection – Part 6 (Last part) – From the Land of the Rising Sun
Japanese watches are no slouch. There i said it. They are able, to make very good quality watch to compete with the Swiss, if they want to, taste aside. This pair is unusual maybe. Here we have two good examples from different world : G Shock GW-5000-JF a...
